/**
 * Utility class for building class loaders for Catalina.  The factory
 * method requires the following parameters in order to build a new class
 * loader (with suitable defaults in all cases):
 
  
  
A set of directories containing unpacked classes (and resources)
     that should be included in the class loader's
     repositories.
 
A set of directories containing classes and resources in JAR files.
     Each readable JAR file discovered in these directories will be
     added to the class loader's repositories.
 
ClassLoader instance that should become the parent of
     the new class loader.
